63 99... Notes for replacing the protective cap of the headlight

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW M6, 2017 BMW 650i xDrive, 2017 BMW 650i, 2017 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2017 BMW 640i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage. 
Damaged seals on the protective caps will lead to moisture penetration into the headlight.
This will in turn cause porous cable insulations and malfunctioning of the headlight.

When working on the headlight system, check the protective cap seals.

Replace the protective cap in the event of damage.
